FionaM Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) Sadler’s website now says 2 hours and 5 minutes, including one 25 minute interval. Implying a ballet of 1 hour and 40 minutes. Hmm. I see the problem! The poster says 1 hour 45 minutes including an interval. Edited January 22 by FionaM Errors 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capybara Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Alina has responded to a message from me on IG: Act 1 = 45 mins; interval = 25 mins; Act 2 = 50 mins. So 2 hours in all plus applause. 3 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut68 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Applause could likely add quite a bit of time to the evening out - and well worth it too I imagine! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FionaM Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 oh to be in two places at once! Alina is the surprise star at the Daniele Cipriani marathon of Les ÉTOILES galas (4 shows) in Rome this weekend. She is performing the white pdd from Marguerite & Armand … and Liam Scarlett’s No man’s Land at today’s gala 17.3.2024. Both with Isaac Hernandez 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeralds Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Very lucky Rome audiences- I've seen Alina Cojocaru dance both pas de deux (on different dates) and she is lovely in both. She danced No Man's Land with Johan Kobborg and Marguerite and Armand with Francesco Gabriele Frola- both performances were brilliant. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut68 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Just seen this…. BRB regrets to announce that due to unforeseen personal circumstances, Alina Cojocaru will not be performing with the Company at Sadler’s Wells theatre on 25th & 27th April as previously announced. Updated casting for our Sadler’s Wells shows is available on our website. Were these all the performances she was scheduled to dance with BRB? Great shame & I do hope all is well with Alina. And do hope she is still planning to dance with London City Ballet in September…. Anyone here know more? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheilaC Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I was devastated to get the news from BRB. Thankfully she has been replaced by an exceptionally good Lise, Yu Kurihara with Lachlan Monaghan. Here's hoping Alina is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady emily Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I posted in the other thread too but so devastated by this. I saw SB many times last season at RB and was hoping to take a break from it (it is a long evening!) and had only booked to see Alina, who I consider the greatest (or at least my favourite) current Aurora. And I had splurged for good seats! I hope all is well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FionaM Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Hamburg Ballet announces that the casting for Neumeier’s The Glass Menagerie will feature Alina in the role of Laura Wingfield which she originated in December 2019. Performances are 28,29,30 May 2024, in Hamburg. 3 former dancers of Hamburg Ballet return as guests to reprise the roles they originated : Patricia Friza (mother Amanda Wingfield), David Rodriguez (unicorn), Marc Jubete (Malvolio). These last two dancers were also the Angel figures in Alina’s ballet La Strada. There are further performances of this ballet on 12 July as part of the Hamburg Ballet Days Festival, and then again on 11,12,13 October 2024 on tour in Baden-Baden. The ballet is not scheduled beyond that, so it may be reasonable to assume the same cast repeats. (There has never been an alternative cast.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FionaM Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Also at this festival in France on 8th July, alongside etoiles of Paris Opera. Pianist David Fray appears to be one of the organisers. He was also the pianist onstage for EPILOGUE, John Neumeier’s latest creation for Hamburg Ballet which premiered a few days ago. https://loffrandemusicale.fr/les-beautes-de-la-danse-le-08-07-quesaco/ 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annamicro Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Alina Cojocaru is dancing some galas in America (Mexico and Chile I think) this Summer. She will dance Neumeier's Midsummer Night's Dream pdd and Kameliendame black pdd with Alessandro Frola in a surprising but very interstellar (I was writing interesting but the autocorrector had it right 😁) brand new partnership. Alessandro (23 and hugely talented) , as many know, is the youngest brother of Gabriele Frola of ENB. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You missed a fantastic show and prices were very affordable too. They offered a generous number of performances so it wasn't at all difficult to find a convenient day and a choice of seats at great prices. The entire company were brilliant, but Cojocaru and Kobborg were out of this world- Kobborg giving one of the best performances of the decade in my opinion. The audience at the show I attended loved it- I don't think they wanted to stop clapping! You didn't need to know Italian cinema (it was based on Fellini's film) nor even have seen the movie to follow what was going on. The sets were outstanding. If Alina and Johan brought it back next year with the same cast, I would go again, and bring more friends. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FionaM Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 A clip of Alina rehearsing the final duet from Akram Khan’s Giselle with Isaac Hernandez, to be performed in Mexico at Isaac’s Despertares gala in August. Isaac notes it’s the first time any duet from this ballet has been given permission to be performed in a gala. I also remember that this ballet was booked to tour to Mexico with ENB in 2020, but of course Covid cancelled that. I wonder if this duet is a precursor to a tour 🤔 https://www.instagram.com/reel/C92FY_VpR4D/?igsh=MW9ycjk1cDgydGY3Zw== 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There haven’t (yet) been any other performances of Alina’s production of La Strada since the original run at Sadler’s Wells. Some dates have been announced for 2025. I don’t know whether there will be changes to the choreography. The team had a particular vision for this show and the choreography reflected that.
